Did the engine previously run normally with that same prop at the same pitch? And now will not? Or is this a new engine prop combination?

What happens if you apply the enricher as it starts to bog down?
If making the mixture more rich helps then it is running lean when
bogging down and you likely have an air leak. The only two places I can
think for air leak is the carb boot or the crank seals. Carb boots are
notorious for this and easy to replace. I hope your crank seals are
fine.
If making the mixture more rich contributes to the problem it is already
running too rich. Are you seeing any additional smoke at 4000 RPM? If
too rich, perhaps the little rubber tip on the enricher is bad and
letting too much fuel in.
Let us know what you find........
i've been watching videos about 2 stroke engines "bogging down" at higher RPM's. one thing could be bad seals on the engine crankcase and/or carbs. the engines run fine at lower rpm's but when power is added the engine starts to "suck air" thru old seals and so you have too much air causing the engine to "bogg down". i've purchased 2 rebuild kits for my carbs, let's hope that's all it is.
Rotax wants $525 each for new carbs.
